Im being trolled here, right?
Because what the fuck do the controls labelled "Boss" and "JHS" do? Dial in the amount of brand hype and disappointment per dollar spent?

This is cool, might mean boss teams up with more exiting pedal companies in future.
I'd by a HM-2/Pharaoh in a heartbeat!

But this is not that.

Sounds good and I like the options of stacking/parallel etc. Clever.
But I already have a Keeley BD-2 and other dirt options so probably won't get it.
Also, can someone remind me of why JHS are considered to be not so nice guys, please?

So the Angry Charlie is originally a clone? I don't get it.

design-wise- that's well done- concentric knobs is a solid choice there for both the literal stacking, and the figurative.
And I'd be in BJ mode. all. damn. day. Just because it's immature to say so. (cough)

Not horribly interested in this one, but I've never really wanted a BD-anything and JHS ..I just don't get the hype. I also don't follow the equally irrational hate down the rabbit holes it always leads.
But if Boss is willing to work with folks, that's a good thing.

i'm all for rational hatred in response to irrational marginalisation and outdated ideologies that struggle for relevance and yet still do so much harm to others who are not members of a privileged ingroup. let's do this.

Angry Charlie is a clone/variant of the MI Audio Crunch Box, which has been cloned/crunched many times over already by lotsa people for less/more money/worse ideals (really/not really

).

Quiet payback to the world for flipping all those Metal Zones for $35? I'm still waiting for that Roland/Malekko collab to yield.......something IRL

?
Also, RIP Ikutaro Kakehashi (the luckiest one of us all)

.
Edit: Also, the OG Blues Driver doesn't get enough love, honestly (stay in school, kids!)

Can't believe this is real. Now I have to sell my Boss pedals. Yes, I'm that petty.
